Year 5 Netball Tournament

Our Year 5 netball teams travelled to Aberdour for an exciting tournament and represented the school brilliantly throughout the day.

All three teams made a strong start, demonstrating excellent passing, movement and teamwork. A particular highlight saw our B and C Teams face each other, with both sides showing wonderful sportsmanship and encouraging one another throughout.

Despite the very cold conditions, the girls remained positive and determined, giving their best in every game. The A Team finished 3rd in their pool, while the B Team also secured 3rd place and bronze medals. The C Team produced a series of determined performances to finish 4th out of six teams in their group.

Well done to all the girls for their commitment, resilience and teamwork. They were fantastic ambassadors for Micklefield and should be very proud of their efforts.

Year 4 Hockey vs Caterham

Our Year 4 hockey teams travelled to Caterham for an enjoyable afternoon of fixtures. Although the results did not go our way, there were plenty of positives to take from all three matches.

The A Team faced strong opposition in a 3-0 defeat, showing excellent resilience, some impressive defending and good teamwork throughout. The B Team also worked hard in their 2-0 defeat, making strong tackles and growing in confidence as the match progressed.

The C Team were involved in an exciting and competitive game, eventually losing 4-2. The team should be particularly proud of scoring two excellent goals and continuing to attack positively right up to the final whistle.

Well done to all our Year 4 players for the determination, teamwork and sportsmanship they showed throughout the afternoon. There is lots to build on ahead of their next fixtures.

Year 6 Netball vs Essendene Lodge

Facing a rather different opposition, with six boys among Essendene's eight Year 6 pupils, it proved to be an interesting experience for our girls. Micklefield produced a strong team performance and proved too strong on the day, securing an impressive 14-1 victory.

Well done to the whole team on a confident performance!

The B Team were in excellent form, recording a fantastic 3-0 victory, while the C Team battled hard throughout a closely fought game before narrowly losing 1-0.
